CLARIFICATION: An earlier version of this story gave an incomplete interpretation of one of the terms of the fundraising. The provision guaranteeing new investors double the price they paid in an acquisition before mid-2019 protects new investors from a near term acquisition that doesn’t involve a big increase on the latest valuation. It doesn't necessarily mean that Ring is expecting to be acquired, as was stated in an earlier version of this article. This story has been updated.
